Room Scheduling Upgrade

As outlined in the December 12, 2018 e-mail, an upgrade to the Events Management System (EMS) will be applied beginning at 6:00 am on Monday, January 14th and continuing through 7:00 am on Monday, January 21st. During this time, the system will not be available to the campus community so please plan your scheduling needs accordingly. Should an emergency arise during the time the system is unavailable, please call the Scheduling and Events Planning Office at extension 5077.

As reported previously, this upgrade will transition EMS to an enterprise version of the software providing more features both immediately and in the future.

Immediate enhancements include:

  • A streamlined approval process
  • Improvements to the academic component including auto synchronization with Banner
  • Departmental review of reservations for venues within departments
  • Event technology assets and furnishings inventory management

Possible future enhancements are:

  • Consolidation of various departmental reservation calendars
  • Ability to view floor plans and furnishing diagrams
  • Standard costing for selected multi-use venues
  • A mobile app

Thank you for your patience as the campus moves toward an improved reservation experience.
